I like this Corran. Did you put the big rock on top?

Early sunset from Cape Royal. This was a little northwest of the actual point. If walking towards the tourist trap viewpoint, it would be on your right about 50-75 yards before and down a slight hill. 4x5 on Portra160, f/32.

Thank you Jon.

Here's a recent photo from one of my hikes. This was early into a seven-hour trek, so I could still climb down to the lower part of the falls. If you've never used RPX 25, it's absolutely amazing. I tested it's dynamic range against TMax 100 and New 55 Atomic-X and it clocked both of them without trying in terms of the amount of image data in the shadows and highlights. I tested each at equivalent EVs, box rating. It may be my new favorite black and white film.

Nice shot. Great contrast between the blue and orange colors.

Thanks Steven. Good work on the GC image. I think that shows the strength of color neg over chromes. There's more foreground interest here than your other GC images IMO.

Here's an image I made on a short roadtrip this past week. This place is called Shaking Rock, and is located in Lexington, GA. This huge rock at one point could be moved with one hand as it was precariously placed on top of the granite outcropping. But at some point it finally succumbed to gravity and is no longer movable. I stop here every time I pass by, and this time finally had my 4x5.

Great job on this. It's another great example of film combined with metering skills outperforming even the most advanced digital sensor.
